My Fight with Maladaptive Daydreaming: A Strange Story
About this episode
Have you ever been to a boring class or in a boring dinner party? And found yourself drifting into daydreaming?
Far from a waste of time, daydreaming might be one of the best things you can do. But what if you always try to entertain yourself in the caverns of your mind? You could think of sudden fame, the death of your enemies, or maybe having sex with a huge variety of entirely different people. Mostly we fantasize when we want to escape reality! What happens if it starts affecting your present life too much and interferes with your ability to carry out daily tasks?
In this episode, listen to the story of Richard Chiu, an Actor, Producer, Podcaster and Maladaptive Daydreamer. From developing symptoms to finding cure.
Listen in for everything you need to know about maladaptive daydreaming.
